CHARLOTTE, NC – July 9, 2025, Waste Pro leadership gathered at the company’s Charlotte, North Carolina, division to celebrate career milestones for five of their fellow Waste Pros.
Junior Bartley, a Residential Driver who serves the City of Monroe, recently earned his second $10,000 Driver Safety Award, a testament to his unwavering commitment to safety and service. He began his career with Waste Pro in 2011 and has consistently made a positive difference in the communities he serves. He is well known on his route and makes special appearances at children’s “garbage-themed” birthday parties. Residential Driver Dennis Strain celebrated his 10th anniversary with the company. Dennis is the glue that holds the residential team together. He is busy in the mornings and afternoons on the yard, providing motivation and inspiration to the team. He has been an excellent teacher to other drivers who want to hone their skills on various trucks, including the rear-load, automated side-load, and grapple trucks.
The celebration continued for three other Waste Pros who, after serving the local community for years, are ready for their next chapter in life. The rich legacy of knowledge and experience they are leaving behind is a testament to their dedication and hard work. Kim Roadcap brought 30 years of experience in the solid waste and recycling industry to the Charlotte Waste Pro team when she joined as a Construction Sales Representative a few years ago. Kim was the catalyst for the company to secure a two-year service contract for Indian Land. Kim’s customers loved her infectious, upbeat attitude.
Dirk Myers has been a vital member of the service team since 2013, serving as a Residential Driver for the City of Monroe. Dirk will be sorely missed by the residents in Monroe and by his Waste Pro family in South Charlotte.
Lastly, Benard Glenn, also known as Mr. B, will soon be enjoying his retirement. Bernard was instrumental in training many personnel on road safety and procedures over his nine years with the company. Among his students throughout his 35-year career in the industry were Waste Pro’s North Carolina Regional Vice President, Chip Gingles, and Charlotte/Concord Division Manager, Vincent Crisp.
Charlotte Division Manager, Ted Goode, shared, “I have not met anyone who worked harder than these amazing Waste Pros. Every member of our North Carolina Regional team will miss their leadership and dedication to the communities. We are grateful for the example that Junior sets in earning our Driver Safety Award and are already looking forward to the next ten years with Dennis!”
